New Delhi: The Indian government has strongly criticized the recent United States crackdown on information technology companies while pushing back firmly against statements made by US Vice President JD Vance concerning visa holders and foreign tech professionals.

The Ministry of External Affairs characterized the characterization and labelling of foreign professionals as unwarranted and deeply offensive. Officials underscored that Indian technology experts are highly educated individuals who play an instrumental role in driving the American economy and innovation ecosystem forward.

Highlighting the broader historical context of migration and economic cooperation, the ministry noted that talent mobility creates shared advantages for both India and the United States. Generations of immigrants have consistently bolstered American growth and prosperity through their dedication to labor, enterprise, and technological advancement.
